Slowly, a thick layer of sediment built up the entire valley floor
The mountains around the valley formed, creating the valley. The Central Valley formed as the mountains rose, the crust forming the Central Valley's floor was bent downward. Slowly, a thick layer of sediment built up the entire valley floor.
Yosemite Valley is formed by the sheer granite cliffs on its sides. It is then ended by Half Done towering above the valley floor.
I live in the Central Valley and we are flat desert land that is irrigated. We live between two mountain ranges the coastal and Sierras.
The valley is about 100 feet above sea level on average. There are areas that are higher and lower, but NO PLACE in the valley is below sea level. In the past the valley floor was lower, infact it was an inland sea, but tectonic action raised the valley floor and drained out the water.

Plate movements sometimes cause the crust to warp, or bend, downward. The result is a basin. A basin is a broad, bowl-shaped valley. For example, the central valley of California is a huge basin with the sierras and coast ranges on either side. As these mountains rose, the currese forming the central valley's floor was bend downward.
